How does Tirzepatide work?
Tirzepatide mimics natural hormones in your body that control appetite and food uptake, leading to a reduction in calorie consumption. Additionally, it supports better insulin regulation, which can help manage blood sugar levels, a vital factor in weight management.

Understanding the role of Tirzepatide in weight loss requires examining the body’s hormones and metabolic processes. Tirzepatide is engineered to emulate natural incretin hormones that are pivotal in regulating appetite and food uptake. These hormones, which include GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), are crucial in signaling to our brains that we’re satiated, thus reducing the urge to consume more calories than necessary.

Tirzepatide is only for diabetes – and should not be used “only” for weight loss.
Tirzepatide is a powerful medication that has been FDA-approved for both diabetes and weight loss in non-diabetics. By improving blood sugar levels and reducing inflammation, it is an effective tool in preventing and treating diabetes. With its proven track record, Tirzepatide is a reliable choice for anyone looking to improve their overall health
 
Tirzepatide will make you throw up every day!
Tirzepatide is an effective weight-loss solution that may cause nausea and vomiting in some patients during the first few weeks of use. However, we work with our patients to find the optimal dosage that results in steady and sustainable weight loss without causing excessive nausea. We closely monitor our patients for any side effects and provide personalized care to alleviate them.

You’ll lose weight without dieting or exercising
Yes, you will. Tirzepatide is designed to help you achieve your weight loss goals by suppressing your appetite and slowing down how your stomach empties. We recommend incorporating moderate exercise to maximize the medication's effectiveness and maintain muscle mass. Our ultimate goal is to help you achieve permanent weight loss and adopt a lifestyle by developing better eating and exercise habits.

You will need to be on Tirzepatide forever if you want to maintain your results.
No, you can be able to achieve long-term weight loss through modifications to diet and exercise after coming off of Tirzepatide. Some patients will get one shot a month in conjunction with their diet and exercise changes to keep their weight stable. 

You’ll gain the weight back after finishing Tirzepatide
If you go back to living exactly like you did before, of course, you will gain weight back. You will need to maintain your results either with diet and exercise modifications or maintenance with a monthly shot of Tirzepatide. Once we have gotten you to your goal weight, maintenance is easier and simpler than most people would imagine.

You’ll get “Ozempic face” 
Whenever a person loses weight – regardless of how they do it – they will have less fat in their cheeks, which can lead to sagging skin around the nose and mouth and along the jawline. We have many ways to tighten your skin and smooth away those lines after you have reached a stable weight.

Prescribing Tirzepatide off-label is dangerous!
Tirzepatide has been FDA-approved for weight loss. It is considered “off-label” to prescribe this to people who are not yet diabetic. Any medication should be taken under medical supervision, which is why we offer medical monitoring to ensure the safe and effective use of Tirzepatide.
